Title: Pak v SA
Post by: johnnyw on October 26, 2010, 03:35:37 PM
Thought I would start a new topic for people to discuss the series between Pakistan and South Africa.

I fancy Pakistan for the T20s after Zimbabwe running SA close last time

Tough times for a Pakistani cricket fan...

They aren't having a great time of it in the opening ODI either. Another trademark batting collapse!

Why is Haider going in at number 8 after Afridi and Razzaq?  He is a much better player than either of them.

Surely he showed how good player he is.

To be honest, players are really talented and good but there are other issues on and off field which is affecting the team.

Does not bode too well for Pakistani batting. Lets not forget South Africa is without Steyn

Who said no one cares about this series?

Razzaq is one of the best finisher in game of cricket. Brillant batting by him!

Abdul Razzaq played a magnificent innings to almost singled handedly win the 2nd ODI for Pakistan. 109* of 72 balls. 10 sixes!!! Stunning!

What an innings! One of the all time best ODI wins in Pakistan cricket.

Truly and clearly one of the best odi innings I have seen in my life.

That, and the fact that he's managed to stay clear of the pak team politics for a decade and a half is perhaps the biggest accolade a pak player can be given!

I just caught the highlights - wanted to cry with joy. Long live ODI cricket! Long live Razzaq!

I will post a decent link when they are available online.

To be honest, Ingram was extremely lucky today. He got lots of edges which went for four. BUT he seem to be very talented youngster. SA future does seem bright as both Ingram and Miller are very talented.

Lefthook,

I couldn't agree with you more. Razzaq is one of my favourite player since I have started to watch cricket and he has never been in any controversy whatsoever. All he does is deliver in the ground and goes back home silently.

I was fortunate to watch the last 15-20 over match AND Abdul Razaq was a treat to watch.. I hope Pakistan play better in the remaining ODIs..

Agreed.

Great innings by Razzaq though! Well timed too. A bit of cheer for the fans and it hopefully it makes the series more interesting (less predictable in terms of the result...)!

maybe good zulqarnain got threatened, look at umar akmal's batting today!

looks like a good finale to a very close series, 124 runs from 15 overs with razzaq and umar akmal both in.
expect fireworks!

Why No Action Against Smith by the Match Referee?
It was appalling to see Graeme Smith's reactions after his leg before decision in the second innings.

As skipper of the team he should be leading by example. However to be shaking his head in the manner he was and to react the way he did is inexcusable and then to shout You are Joking at the umpire was pretty childish.

However once again, Smith has been allowed to get away with another transgression.

The South African team in general behaved quite well when they were on top, but as soon as Pakistan fought back on day 5, there was some toys thrown out of the parm by a few of the South Africans.

The deliberate running onto the wickets when bowling round the wicket by Morne Morkel, to try and help the spinners from the other other end was in poor taste also.

I'm all for competitive cricket and sledging, but the South African behaviour at times left a lot to be desired

I don't care if you've copy-pasted this. However, DELIBERATE running onto the wickets? Good one. That's definitely media bull**** again. This is also fairly good coming from a website supporting a country who's most recent ODI captain was seen tucking into a cheeky cricket ball. Maybe Smith was a bit OTT, but we've all been like that. We are human after all.

I agree with Tumo, The pakistan cricketers are no saints themselves. I am sure your previous captain started to do pirouette's on the pitch, But i suppose due to him being Afridi, He was forgiven as he is seemed as somewhat of a false idol,

I think before Pakistan throw insults or words of criticism they need to get their own cricket board sorted, How many players will get banned after the next poor series, Just to be asked to come back, The list must be pretty comprehensive by now
Title: Re: Pak v SA
Post by: Rik on November 18, 2010, 09:56:08 AM
Afridi was reprimanded for the ball biting incident though which makes it somewhat different to a transgression left undealt with... I personally do notice a lot of international cricketers getting away with a lot more than they should and it does look as though the punishments aren't handed out correctly.

Dude what is that supposed to mean? Afridi was reprimanded, so should Smith be according to the poster. And the website supporting a country mate I don't want to comment on that. Lets keep it civil.
